Someone from the Pew Center on the States read my story today on arts funding for preschoolers and suggested I take a look at Pew's new 50-state survey on preschool funding. Ohio's investment in early education has been up and down and it appears to be in need of an infusion. But the state is about to tackle an $8 billion deficit, so it's not the best time to be scrounging for new money.
